Dude come on series deserves some criticism but you haven't even watched the episode yet....
Is it really that weird to be worried that they're adapting it so slowly? It might work for the Sports Festival, but it won't work for the arcs after. That's what I'm worried about.

So glad this is on Hulu. Was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up.
The point is, this episode was not slow, despite being "just" 2 chapters. They know what they're doing.
Alright, fair enough, I jumped the gun.
I'm just really worried where they're going with this.

YEa because right now you make no sense. Your random adapt 3 chapters needs are weird and the ending spot of the chapter after you want is better anyway. Volume 3 end on it.
Anyway i'm getting into manga talk which I shouldn't do.

They did some great anime original moments with Mt. Lady and the training montage. That's what I want.
Also let's all be real here...Kirishima is best bro.

Thought this was a great episode. Good to see Bakugou get some screen time, who was hilarious. Funny to see Kirishima and others impressed with Bakugou's words of wisdom. Liked the Deku/Todoroki confrontation. Training montage was nice, and I don't think that was in the manga.
I'll be pulling for the business class to win this tournament. They've got this!

If you put all the little flashbacks together you maybe have 30 seconds total.
Alright, nice

Good episode gearing up fully now.
Hope they can keep up the good animation i cant wait till we get further in i already have specific images ready!
The mt lady scene with the food stall was actually an extra scene in 1 of the volumes. Cant remember which one but i definitely remember reading it.

If they already had 10 episodes finished by the time episode 1 started, then yeah I'm pretty confident that they can keep it up.

You are right! It appears at the end of volume 3 as bonus chapter #1. It's a single page gag.

A great feature about Heroism as been posted on CR. It's a great read! And from the way Nick speaks we can expect more!

They're doing a great job at making Todoroki look really powerful. Loved his animations this episode.
Makes me even more excited for what's to come...

I think All Might wants Deku to tell the world that he's here. I'm not sure though.

Much much better episode.
The flashbacks were related directly to what Deku realized and were from past episodes/seasons as well as very short and to the point. They also did one of the anime's stronger points which was showing the rest of the class training which is nice to see and have them be involved more. Mt. Lady's interaction was pretty funny too. Bakugo's speech and fallout were handled very well too, especially the dialogue and cut as he was walking back and bumps into Deku.
I forgot how much of a dickbag Todoroki was early on. I hope people don't just write him off considering how quickly he changes.
Not really a fan of the end point either, honestly.
Ashido Levels: Okay, I guess. She got some time. Not enough.

Dayum.
Remember when Deku had to basically destroy his legs and arms to take out one of those?
Yooo is this from the newest episode? gotta watch that ASAP.
Edit: The running animation looks a bit weird.

Great episode, this is the MHA that I remember from season 1! The ice wave taking out the robots was awesome.
Mineta would totally have a Mt. Lady poster and figure.

Good episode. Bakuguo was pookie as always. Love the R rated hero. 😍
Animation is nice but I can't stand this slowness, when the original manga is so fast. I really don't get it, since they aren't even covered 20% of the manga and the anime is divided into seasons.
I'm just skipping through the episode since I know what happens and it's too damn slow to watch normally. Awful shame. Made me want to reread the manga, though.

I know it's only two episodes, but I'm honestly feeling a bit bored with this season so far and it's kinda disappointing? 
It's making me wish I hadn't read the manga, cuz I think this would be much more enjoyable if I didn't know what to expect. And I mean, usually I rewatch/reread stuff a ton and still find things totally enjoyable (such as SnK s2 -- i've read thru these parts of the manga at least twice and it's still absolutely riveting to watch the new season)! But as it is with bnha, I find myself feeling like they're dragging everything out and making a huge Moment out of the smallest of things unnecessarily (yes, Deku, we get it that All Might wants you to tell the world you're here. We were there. Earlier in episode). I mean it's thankfully a lot better than the first episode of the season at least and I do dig the animation a lot, so hopefully it'll pick up as it goes and is just a bit of a slowish start I guess.

Alex Organ seems to have moved onto other forms of acting. He hasn't dubbed anything in about a year.
Manga is on another level thats for sure never a dull moment.
MHA is a fast paced manga, so I can understand the disappointment of some. But I think Bones did a good job this episode: 2 adapted chapters, original moments, etc. They even adapted one of the extra stories that you can only see in the volumes.
And the animation is really good so far, you can really see how Shouto is powerful after he freezes the robot.

I posted this in the general anime OT earlier, but if you look back to what happened this episode, you have:
- explanation about how the festival is going to work
- introduction of the other classes at U.A with some select students specifically
- everyone training for 2 weeks
- Todorokis 'declaration of war'
- Pro Heroes enjoying the festival
- opening ceremony
- Bakugou character development
- start of the first event, with everyone using their quirks
- Todoroki being OP
That's a lot that happened. How is this slow?

Glad I never read the manga, I barely see any pacing issues outside of the 1st ep flashback/character reintroductions. I guess not knowing what to expect is a blessing

It's more like some people set some goal they want each episode to reach no matter what and I feel this is why they feel the show is too slow. It harms their enjoyment.
